Cheap ropes ‘thread’

Decent rope (I've got one, it's no sterling, but is lasting ok) but bargain price!

I just assume that nobody buys anything shorter than 90m nowadays... maybe that's just me

Hah, my first sterling was 50m, pretty sure it was reduced so much as anyone in the market for such a rope wanted a longer one so the 50m didn't sell!

Hope you don’t mind me splitting this off as it seemed like a good idea like the cheap shoes thread.
I’ve always liked the Revelation for its longevity so ordered one although was considering getting one of the Decathlon ones which has to be the default currently for anyone seeking a bargain rope

Yes. That’s what I split it from. But that’s general discussion about ropes rather than current bargains to snap up

Not a workhorse, but definitely a bargain

60 m singles are the bomb for bolted multipitch. But they are getting more and more rare. I usually just use old 80s or 100s that have been cut down to about 60, but it always feels a bit iffy to climb long routes on old tired ropes.

I don’t know how good the excellently-named
Edelweiss Thruster
ropes are but they’re cheap enough for it not to matter that much.

I got that email too! But could you really see yourself rocking up to the salesperson saying
“Give me an Edelweiss Thruster please. Make it a long one.”

More cheap ropes
, including some in the underrated sub-50m category.
